The industry of sleeve and of the anime continues to boom, currently, the demand for Japanese entertainment content is incredible and although most people think it is good news, there are nuances that we forget to consider at times and that actually pose important problems that could lead to the ruin of the industry.
And there has always been a question in the manga and anime industry; now that it seems to have become popular, that great detail only became a titan that increasingly affects the training industry.
Manga and anime piracy has already caused a loss of 800 million dollars so far this year, so it is a conflict that will require greater and more stringent regulations.
“Japan Authorized Books,” an authority that manages manga distribution, has already found more than 1,300 manga piracy sites online. And while this is a problem because consumption does not generate any reward, it is even worse when there are also leaks prior to the release of the deliveries, as is happening with Jujutsu Kaisen.
While big works can survive piracy, smaller titles can’t. So publishers have begun to openly welcome the fact that readers consume content on designated platforms. The main objective is for fans to show their support for the works and the publishers, and by openly thanking them they want to encourage respect from readers.
